From the Fix:<\/p>\n<p>The study should help people understand that the \u201cnice-sounding words\u201d of diversity, equity and inclusion are \u201cmasking university programs that actually spew hate and division, particularly with respect to Jews,\u201d [study co-author Jay] Greene told The College Fix via email.<\/p>\n<p>The study concluded DEI staff are \u201cparticularly unwelcoming toward Jewish students,\u201d noting that this attitude may promote antisemitic sentiments at universities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe political activism of DEI staff may help explain the rising frequency of antisemitic incidents on college campuses as well as the association between college and graduate education and higher levels of antisemitic attitudes,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n<p>Greene and fellow co-author James Paul conducted the research by searching the public Twitter profiles of 741 DEI personnel at 65 universities and compared their statements on Israel to China and Palestine, and found that the staffers were often critical of Israel while remaining favorable to China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose DEI staff tweeted, retweeted, or liked almost three times as many tweets about Israel as tweets about China. Of the tweets about Israel, 96 percent were critical of the Jewish state, while 62 percent of the tweets about China were favorable,\u201d the report found.<\/p>\n<p>In one tweet, a Multicultural Student Center staff person said: \u201cCondemn the Apartheid State of Israel for their Human Rights Violations against the Palestinian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found the word \u201capartheid\u201d 43 times in reference to Israel in the Twitter feeds of DEI staff. They also mentioned \u201ccolonialism\u201d 39 times and \u201cgenocide\u201d nine times \u2013 all in tweets referring to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe frequent use of words such as&nbsp;<em>apartheid<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>colonialism<\/em>&nbsp;are meant to portray Israel as a racist endeavor and deny its right to exist as the homeland of the Jewish people,\u201d the study said.<\/p>\n<p>The study found a \u201cdouble standard\u201d when it came to \u201cthe sparsity of criticism of China relative to Israel.\u201d The study found that \u201cDEI staff were less likely to offer criticisms of China than of Israel, and those criticism tended to be less strongly worded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Greene told the Fix that instead of \u201cwelcoming diverse students, these programs are actually left-wing radicals being paid with taxpayer subsidies and tuition dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Pessin, campus bureau editor for the&nbsp;Algemeiner&nbsp;and a professor at Connecticut College, told the Fix that the study confirms what he has seen \u201canecdotally for the past several years, that DEI staff tend to be problematically hostile to Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re welcome to their personal opinions of course, but if their job is to create an inclusive environment for all students on a campus, that must extend to Jewish and Zionist students as well, who have just as much right to a safe campus environment as anybody,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to do that when you\u2019re busy bashing Israel all over social media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
